MARLA GOES NORTH

Notes from a life between places.

Marla Goes North began as a record of leaving full-time life in the U.S. in 2021. It has grown into a space shaped by curiosity, belonging, and wonder, alongside the realities of starting over in a new place.

Part travel journal, part creative practice, and part reflection, this site explores what it means to build a life rooted in two places. I write about music, nature, and travel, and about learning as I go.

Here you’ll find:

Mixtapes — seasonal updates from my life in Norway, featuring what I’m reading, listening to, and inspired by
Field Notes— snapshots of people, places, and stories that offer a closer look at everyday life and culture in Norway
Journeys — travel stories from Oslo, Stavanger, Denmark, and beyond
Life Stories — personal essays drawn from lived experience and reflection

Subscribe to receive new Mixtapes and Field Notes as they’re published.
